INSPIRE Registry Workshop, 2014-01-22/23: The aim of this two-day workshop was to explore developments in registries across Europe, at national and European levels, and gain stakeholder input for the current and future developments of the open source Re3gistry software and its INSPIRE Registry instance.

The INSPIRE registry provides a central access point to a number of centrally managed INSPIRE registers. The content of these registers are based on the INSPIRE Directive, Implementing Rules and Technical Guidelines. The service is accessible through a RESTful interface described in the INSPIRE registry help page.

The Re3gistry is a tool used to manage the data contained in the registry. It is made up of several components to store and to transform the data to some custom formats to be served by a web service. The web service has a RESTful interface to access the data. You can access different formats and languages using content negotiation or directly calling the desired file. The development plan for the future releases of the Re3gistry software is available in the Re3gistry software development page.

The intention of this study is to further elaborate the outcomes of the registry workshop in January 2014 concerning registry federation aspects and to provide the basis for further discussions in a MIG sub-group on registries and registers.

The deliverables of the study as well as the reference material will be made available on the study's wiki page.
